Nova POV:
As I walk up to Jaxs office with a spring in my step I realise I haven’t felt this relaxed or comfortable in a long time. The past week has flown by and I’ve enjoyed how lovely members of the pack have been. I’ve managed to get stuck into helping with the training and after the warriors saw me take Theo down yesterday they’ve been asking me for advice constantly. Theo and Flo are loving having me work with them, it’s been so nice spending time with them again, they truly are who I would class as family. At that thought I feel a slight sense of foreboding at what’s to come.
I’d asked Jax on Tuesday when I was helping in the office if he thought I should ring Luca today, he’d said it’s completely up to me but that he’s sure Luca would appreciate hearing that I’ve settled well. So that was the first job I had to do today, ring Luca.
Knocking on the door and letting myself in I wave slightly as I realise Jax is on the phone, heading over to the spare desk I can’t help but overhear what he’s saying.
“Why don’t you come for dinner at the pack house instead mum? It’s been a while and I’m sure everyone would love to see you” he says gently down the phone.
Realising he’s talking to his parents I make a conscious effort to not listen in to any more of the conversation. I rummage through the invoices and orders I need to put into the system and make a note of when the delivery dates would be. Always visit Jobnib.com for more novels and updates
After a few moments I hear Jax stop talking and head over towards me, “sorry I didn’t mean to interrupt” I murmur up at him getting lost in his mesmerising green eyes. Every day my attraction grows for him which both excites me and scares me. The thought of him not being my mate has started to really upset me so I try to avoid that thought whenever possible.
“You can never interrupt” he assures me pulling me to my feet. As he draws me closer he drops his head into my neck and takes a deep scent of me whilst I find myself unconsciously doing the same. Straightening his head up he captures my lips in his own making me sigh happily. “It seems like a long time since I saw you and it was only a couple of hours ago at the gym” he admits as we pull away from one another.
Reaching my hand up to brush a loose strand of hair out of his face I quirk my lips happily at his admission, “too long” I agree.
Pulling me in for another kiss he lifts one of my legs so it’s wrapped around him making us press even closer to one another. We get lost in each other for a few minutes before the door opening has us both freezing in surprise. Hearing it close quietly we turn to meet the amused gaze of Laurence as he leans against it.
“Well well well..what do we have here?” He smirks.
Gasping I drop my leg and remove my hands from Jaxs neck.
Jax reaches behind me and grabs a pen off of the desk throwing it at Laurence making him jump out of the way.
“What was that for?” Laurence exclaims.
“For interrupting” Jax counters.
“With a pen..nice one Jax” he scoffs, “I’m happy for you guys. Naomi owes me £100 actually” he says happily rubbing his hands together.
“You bet on us?!” I stutter out.
“I think the whole pack has Nova, if you’re not our Luna I dread to think of the tears we will be dealing with from everyone” he jokes before saying “as long you’re not doing it on my desk I don’t care.”
At the word desk I feel myself blush again as the memories of the other day come to mind.
Seeing my reaction he looks between his desk and us in horror, “you haven’t?!” He shouts.
“Well..not on your desk” Jax says sheepishly rubbing his neck, “we haven’t fucked” he adds on quickly establishing the fact.
Seeing Laurence relax as he realises his desk is safe he sits down happily. “Well don’t let me stop you from carrying on.”
“Perv” Jax laughs at him as he heads back to his desk.
Feeling flustered I face Jax changing her subject, “actually I was going to call Luca first thing.”
His head snaps up as he realises I’m nervous, “go ahead. We’re here if you need us” he reassures me.
As I listen to the phone ring I can’t help but tap my foot nervously, “Nova!” I hear Luca shout as he finally answers.
“Hey Luca” I laugh at his excitement, “how are you?”
“Missing you, it’s strange not having you here” he says sounding slightly down, “how are you? Are they treating you well? What have you been up to?”
“Whoaaa slow down” I say as he reals off his questions, “I’m doing really well, everyone here is so welcoming and I’ve started helping with the training and doing some office work.”
“Don’t mention bloody office work to me” he grumbles.
“Why?” I ask him.
“Because there is so much to do” he groans, “I had no idea the amount of work you did at this pack Nova, and I feel like I need to apologise for not helping more. There is me and Gamma Freddie helping and we are still struggling to get it done in the time frame.”
“Is there anything you need me to mention?” I ask him.
